Frances Foley Bates was a child, who lived from 1902 to 1908, about 6 years.
Born a Foley, and known here by the name Bates. Theirs is one of 10 markers bearing the name Bates in this ground: kin, or several families, gathered together.

This works because this grave’s location is recorded. Most graves’ exact spots still await a field day with a GPS unit.
That is most of what the public record yet tells us. Frances Foley Bates was a child of this town, not a name on a list, with a life still largely unrecovered. We will not invent the rest. If you are descended from Frances's family, you can add a source, a correction, or a memory. Until then, their name is kept here, with respect.
The stone is still there.
